What is Thecloudvantnow.com ads?

Thecloudvantnow.com misleads users by using social engineering techniques

Thecloudvantnow.comPop-ups caused by dubious websites can lead to other dangerous pages

Thecloudvantnow.com is a bogus website set up by fraudsters to trick users into subscribing to push notifications. The page masquerades as a verification step. Supposedly, users need to click the “Allow” button to confirm that they are not robots, and they will be able to proceed.

However, by clicking “Allow” users give permission to show them push notifications. They begin to receive annoying pop-up ads, which can appear even when the browser is closed. Crooks may also use rogue advertising networks to place advertisements that lead to dangerous websites.

As a result, people may end up on scam pages that attempt to obtain personal information from them or trick them into downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs)[1] or malware. We strongly advise users not to click on any links embedded in advertisements, even if they appear to promote legitimate products.

People typically report seeing ads promoting adult websites, bogus antivirus offers, software deals, giveaways, and surveys. That is why it is critical to turn off the ads as soon as possible, especially if other people are using the affected machine.

NAME Thecloudvantnow.com
TYPE Push notification spam; adware
SYMPTOMS Pop-up ads start appearing in the corner of the screen after the “Allow” button is pressed
DISTRIBUTION Shady websites, deceptive ads, redirects, freeware installations
DANGERS Links embedded in the push notifications can lead to dangerous websites where users can be tricked into providing their personal information and suffer from monetary losses
ELIMINATION Users can block push notifications via browser settings
FURTHER STEPS It is recommended to use a repair tool like FortectIntego after the removal to fix any remaining damage

Distribution methods

Pages created solely for the purpose of spamming users with pop-ups have no other content. They are rarely found in search results. They are usually hidden on other shady, unregulated sites. Illegal streaming sites, for example, are full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects.

Even though Google promised to remove fake “Download” and “Play” buttons,[2] they remain. If users come across these buttons and click on them, they may believe that if they press “Allow,” they will be able to watch the movie or TV show they chose.

It is best to only visit pages that you are familiar with and trust. Use legal streaming services such as Netflix or Hulu. They have a low monthly subscription fee and allow users to watch as much content as they want. Some may argue that it is costly, but keeping your system in good working order may save you money in the long run.

Clear your browsers from trackers

It is strongly advised to clear your browsers after visiting such a website. Websites and web-based applications can collect data such as your IP address, geolocation, websites you visit, links you click on, and items you buy online using various tracking technologies. All of this is accomplished through the use of cookies and cache.

These small data files aren't necessarily bad. Legitimate websites employ them to personalize the user experience by displaying relevant results, for instance. They can, however, be used to generate revenue by selling them to ad networks and other third parties. This problem has an automatic solution – FortectIntego. With the click of a button, this powerful software can stop tracking and delete existing data, as well as repair serious system errors.

Check your PC for adware

PUPs can also cause unwanted browser behavior. Pages like Thecloudvantnow.com can appear without any user input at all. Adware,[3] which is a program that generates commercial content in the machine without the users' knowledge, can cause this. Many of them are disguised as “useful” tools, making them more difficult to detect for average users.

That is why professional security tools such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes are essential. Anti-malware software can scan the machine for suspicious processes that are running in the background. Furthermore, it can prevent such infections by alerting users when dangerous files attempt to enter the system.

However, if you still want to do this yourself, you can follow our step-by-step instructions for Windows and Mac machines:

  5. If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
  6. Wait till uninstallation process is complete and click OK.Uninstall from Windows 2

  2. In Control Panel, select Programs > Uninstall a program.Uninstall from Windows 7/XP
  3. Pick the unwanted application by clicking on it once.

How to prevent from getting adware

Stream videos without limitations, no matter where you are

There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity. While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.

Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. In other words, you may not be able to stream Disney+ or US-based Netflix in some countries. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process.

Data backups are important – recover your lost files

Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data. Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them. The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted.

While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as Data Recovery Pro can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
